- Facing north on Yellowstone, to the normally busy Alameda intersection. Where is everybody?
Back before gas prices went over three bucks per gallon, the main drag through Pocatello and Chubbuck, Idaho, Yellowstone Avenue (aka State Highway 91) was a busy place even on Sundays. But in the past few years traffic has dramatically declined on both Saturday and Sunday.
The intersection of Yellowstone and Alameda, in Pocatello, is usually the busiest section during the week. Last month one of my daughters (graduated Pocatello High School) paid a visit from Boise and was shocked at the reduction of even the work day traffic on Yellowstone.
This Sunday, 21 July 2013, was the most ghost townish I’d ever seen Pocatello and Chubbuck.
